LIEUT. COMMANDER EDWIN M. ROSENBERG was told six years ago that he probably had only a short while to live. Though one cancer, in the groin, had been removed, others kept cropping up. Rosenberg was treated with X rays, but the Navy retired him on medical grounds. Then Rosenberg astonished the Navy by getting well. It took an act of Congress to get his retirement set aside, and Rosenberg back on active duty, but back he went (TIME, Sept. 4, 1950). Last week Lieut.

...these remaining D.P.s are for the most part no economic, social or political asset. There are a few good hewers of wood & drawers of water to be exported. The remaining people are liabilities, and the problem must be tackled in those terms. It is no good peering at their X-ray plates and exclaiming in horror, 'Oh, but this girl has active TB!'
